@PeterSweden7 Homochirality

What is your best logical argument for the existence of God? I have two arguments that are very compelling... Argument number 1: The universe must logically have had a beginning. If it had a beginning, then that beginning must have had a cause. That cause must be outside of this universe and outside of time. An eternal, all powerful source. In other words, God. The other option would be that the universe, time and matter was eternal. Which would per definition place it in the category of supernatural, which is absurd. Argument number 2: If good and evil exists, that means God must also exist. Why? Because God is what gives the ultimate compass for what is objectively good and evil. Without God, an higher power that is all knowing and perfect, moral laws become subjective to each one of us. You cannot have moral law without a moral law giver. We can observe and logically understand that objective moral laws do indeed exist. We can clearly see that evil, that which goes against the objective moral law, does exist. Therefore good, that which follows the objectively moral law, must also exist. And if those are true, therefore then, God exists.

@anyonewantchips But Trump was. Idiot

As the Supreme Court is poised to rule on Trump’s request to end birthright citizenship - it might be a good time to mention the fact that Ivana was not a US citizen when Don Jr, Ivanka & Eric were born, and Melania was not a US citizen when Barron was born.

@efarmerdot @GuntherD8 @LLBiggers We're talking efficiency per mass. 30% is a thermodynamic near-maximum which is another thing.

@GuntherD8 @samfullman @LLBiggers How efficient then?

“A gallon of jet fuel contains 34 kilowatt-hours of energy in a package weighing six pounds. A lithium-ion battery storing the same energy weighs 250 pounds. That density gap is why every military on earth runs on liquid hydrocarbons, why every container ship crossing the Pacific burns bunker fuel, why every combine harvester in Iowa runs on diesel, and why every 747 landing at Heathrow runs on kerosene. The fact that nobody wages war over solar panels is evidence of their limitations not superiority.” —@Shellenberger open.substack.com/pub/public/p/2…

@BrandonStraka What? It was 5.00

Americans are opening Girl Scout cookie boxes and finding less product for the same $6 price, sparking frustration nationwide. Shrinkflation is hitting everything.

@StefanMolyneux Hopefully the vast majority of guys will see this as humorous and not serious.

@The_future_i @iam_smx While you froze

@iam_smx I would just lie on my back and think “I am the universe, the universe is me” and feel strange that I’m standing on a planet that isn’t earth. I bet it’s a surreal feeling.

This is what the night sky on Mars looks like At night, Mars has a dark sky filled with even more visible stars than Earth, because the air is thin, the stars appear sharper and brighter Mars also has two tiny moons, Phobos and Deimos. Phobos races across the sky, while Deimos drifts slowly like a faint star The sky isn’t completely black, it often has a brownish, dusty tint. Sometimes you can even see a soft blue glow near sunset. And on clear nights, the Milky Way stretches brightly across the sky.

@millerman Taking this, but there isn't a question on here almost that doesn't appear leading or have large gaps in interpretation. Like "eliminated".

In 1950, the Frankfurt School designed a test to find the fascists among us. Carl Schmitt said the instrument itself was the problem. 30 questions. Make up your own mind. fscale.millermanschool.com

@Osintinarious @RyanHatesGovt That's the end of THAT worker's comp claim.

@RyanHatesGovt If he wasn’t tied up

Always remember. Somebody out there has it worse than you. Be thankful for what you have.

@OwenGregorian @grok this sounds impressive, but is it's energy efficiency percentage significantly different or better than other electric motors, ie. what percentage of amperes delivered translate to output power? I promise I'm asking this as a real person!

New 28-pound electric motor out-powers a Tesla Model S Plaid | Joshua Shavit and Joseph Shavit, The Brighter Side of News A 28-pound electric motor that puts out more than 1,000 horsepower sounds like something a screenwriter invented for a car commercial. It isn’t. YASA , a British electric motor company owned by Mercedes-Benz and based out of an innovation center in Oxford, has done it twice now, and the second time came only a few months after the first. The company builds what are called axial flux motors, a design that stacks magnetic components differently than conventional motors, producing more power from a much smaller package. Earlier this summer, YASA set an unofficial world record for power density with a 13.1-kilogram motor producing 550 kilowatts. Then it went back to the dyno and beat itself. The new prototype weighs 12.7 kilograms (28 lbs) and generates a peak of 750 kilowatts, which works out to just over 1,000 horsepower. That translates to a power density of 59 kilowatts per kilogram, a 40 percent jump over the already record-setting figure from just months prior. The new prototype weighs 12.7 kilograms (28 lbs) and generates a peak of 750 kilowatts. (CREDIT: YASA) Not a rendering, not a simulation Tim Woolmer, YASA’s founder and chief technology officer, was direct about what the company had actually built. “This isn’t a concept on a screen,” he said. “It’s running, right now, on the dynos. We’ve built an electric motor that’s significantly more power-dense than anything before it, all with scalable materials and processes.” That distinction matters more than it might seem. The electric motor space has no shortage of announced breakthroughs that live primarily in press releases and CAD files. YASA is describing a physical object generating real data in real time, something its chief of new technology, Simon Odling, was eager to emphasize. “This is real hardware, in real life, delivering real data,” Odling said, “and it’s performing beautifully.” The motor’s peak output is the headline figure, but sustained performance tells a more complete story. Continuous power, which is what actually drives a vehicle over time rather than just during a brief surge, lands somewhere between 350 and 400 kilowatts, or roughly 469 to 536 horsepower. That continuous power density of approximately 27.6 kilowatts per kilogram exceeds the peak figures of most competing motors outright. For comparison, some of the other power-dense motors that generated attention in recent years, including units from H3X and Equipmake aimed at aerospace and marine applications, top out around 13 to 14 kilowatts per kilogram at peak. Donut Labs produced an automotive hub motor earlier this year that reached 15.8 kilowatts per kilogram. YASA’s new prototype is nearly four times that. Where the competition actually stands Before YASA’s first record this summer, the most power-dense motor covered in the specialty press was the Evolito D250, an aerospace spinoff with its own roots in YASA’s axial flux lineage, rated at 28 kilowatts per kilogram. Around the same time, British firm Helix tested its SPX177 radial flux motor, a 28-kilogram unit built for a hypercar project that hit 711 kilowatts, putting its density at about 25.4 kilowatts per kilogram. YASA’s new number bests both of those by more than double. Joerg Miska, YASA’s CEO, framed the gap this way: “With three times the performance density of today’s leading radial flux motors, YASA continues to redefine the boundaries of what’s possible in electric motor design.” The comparison to radial flux motors is significant because radial flux is the dominant architecture in mass-market electric vehicles today, including those from Tesla and most other mainstream manufacturers. The three motors in a Tesla Model S Plaid combine for roughly 1,020 horsepower. YASA’s single 12.7-kilogram prototype essentially matches that on its own. Engineered for scale, not just spectacle One recurring point in YASA’s announcements is that the motor uses no exotic or prohibitively expensive materials. That’s a pointed contrast to some high-performance motor programs where cost and manufacturability are treated as problems for someone else to solve later. YASA describes the design as scalable, built on precision engineering, advanced thermal management, and packaging optimization rather than rare-earth windfalls or one-off fabrication techniques. The Advanced Propulsion Centre in the UK provided support for the motor’s development, which gives it a degree of institutional backing beyond a single company’s ambitions. Whether any of this reaches consumers anytime soon is a different question. YASA declined to offer even a rough timeline for when this prototype architecture might move toward production. Mercedes-Benz is confirmed to be using YASA axial flux motors in an upcoming electric AMG super-GT , but what goes into that car may differ substantially from what’s currently running on the test bench. The record-breaking prototype remains in a rigorous development program, and the company is continuing to release updates as testing progresses. The Helix SPX177, by contrast, was built more like an F1 development exercise, with ultimate performance as the singular goal and production viability a distant consideration. YASA is explicitly not doing that, which suggests this technology has a longer arc in mind. Practical implications of the research For the automotive industry broadly, a scalable, high-density motor architecture that doesn’t rely on exotic materials represents genuine leverage. Smaller, lighter motors mean more flexibility in vehicle design, including the possibility of packaging multiple motors into platforms without the weight penalties that currently come with that approach. Performance vehicles stand to benefit most immediately, but the underlying engineering, particularly the thermal management and packaging methods that allow such power from such a small unit, could influence drivetrain design across segments over time. If the architecture proves manufacturable at the scale YASA suggests is possible, the gap between hypercar-grade power density and production-vehicle hardware could close considerably in the coming years. thebrighterside.news/post/new-28-po…

@StefanMolyneux I do. Maybe the way we've been doing it the last 50 years is stupid

If you subtract the bloody Christian end-times superstitions, how many American support this war?

@saifedean I think i should start my own "idiot savant" finder channel @IfindRetards

It is difficult for smart people to accept that geopolitical explanations for Trump's wars are irrelevant. Reality is far simpler: Trump's base belong to primitive human sacrifice cults that believe their god demands the murder of millions of Middle Easterners to be happy.

@niccruzpatane Found on Road Discharged 😂 - tongue in cheek, I have a Ford truck

Ford CEO Jim Farley, in a new interview, says he realized Ford had been doing EVs all wrong after his team ripped apart a Tesla: “When we ripped apart a Tesla, I was just absolutely flabbergasted. The Mach-E's wiring harness was 70 pounds heavier and 1.6 kilometers longer. We didn't know what was going on in [Tesla engineers' ] minds. But now we understand. They had no prejudice. We had prejudice. We'd gone to our supply-chain person and said, "Buy another wiring harness." [Tesla] said, "Let's design the vehicle for the lowest, smallest battery." Totally different approach.”

@Collins_dukeman @EricLDaugh You really don't have a conception of a modern economically linked world, with weapons our Founding Fathers hadn't imagined at the time, do you? Are you still thinking about the Barbary Pirates?

@EricLDaugh Honest question for everyone: When a crisis erupts halfway across the world, why do both Washington & Moscow feel it’s their fight too? Is it truly about protecting values… or about not letting the other side win the story? What do you think drives it?

It's not a just war when your sworn enemy sets up a machine gun stand next to your property. It's not a just war when he mounts the machine gun. It's not a just war when he loads the bullets. It always WAS a just war when he cuts you down and your children in the yard. But you were too stupid to figure that out.
